Welcome back everyone - its been a while since weve done a Fast Food video on this channel
- as Im sure many of you are aware, weve been doing a ton of scary videos over the past
few months.
I thought it would be a good idea to combine the two and look at some pretty horrific stories
about Fast Food.
These are real stories, from customers and employees, and its a reminder that sometimes,
to get food fasts, people cut a few corners.
My name is Danny Burke and this is the Top 10 Scary Fast Food Stories.
Starting off at number 10 we have The Horror Show[a].
Thats the only name I could give to this story or stories from Reddit user boojo01.
They said -I watched this really slow guy drool all over the burger he was making.
A guy had a scab fall into the bun toaster and get toasted with the bun so he gave it
to the customer.
Some really large customer came behind the line and started helping himself to fries
with his bare hands and no one cared but me.
I've seen two employees have sex on the prep table during the overnight shift.
McChickens werent that popular so we kept the super old ones for horrible assholes and
gave them bad McChickens.
Sometimes they had mold on them.
Watched a guy hork down chicken nuggets like it was his business while on shift.
I grew four pant sizes while working there and it wasnt puberty.
We used to spit on burgers for the really vile customers.
I heard of a guy who threw a mouse into the fryer to watch him burn alive.
Poor mouse.
Some of the fun things we did: Made sandwiches with, like, ten layers of burger and cheese.
Used an entire case of swiss cheese in a day that resulted in the worst simultaneous constipation
bout the world had ever seen.
Used the warmer pans as skis.
Purposely squeezed as much grease out of the burgers as possible for one day just to see
how much grease we could collect.
We even had chicken nugget food fights when we werent busy.
Moving on to number 9 we have The Morning After[b].
This one comes from Reddit user Santi Domanti and its a reminder of how much trust we put
in others when they make food for us.
They said -Chipotle hands down.
This wasn't really Chipotle's fault rather an individual employee of Chipotle.
This girl I was seeing and I went to Chipotle after class she got a burrito and I got nachos.
Everything was fine until I went to wake her up the next morning and she literally looked
like she was dead.
Took her to the ER and they admitted her immediately.
She ended up spending almost a week in the hospital and almost died.
Turns out someone poisoned the tomatoes and caused half a dozen people to get deathly
sick.
Luckily nobody died.
Needless to say I haven't been back-
Next up at number 8 now we have The Basket of Fries.
This one came from Julie Baker who shared it to the Buzzfeed Facebook.
She said - One time I was waiting on line to order when I noticed one of the employees
leaning over the french fry bin.
They very clearly were getting sick DIRECTLY in the fries!
Another employee ushered that employee away quickly before anyone could see, and as far
as I know I was the only one who did, but people kept ordering and they were told there
would be a "wait" for fries.
I walked right out and called the health board immediately-
Coming in at number 7 now we have The Mice[c].
Heres one from Reddit user Toxic Pink that is almost too crazy to believe - but after
researching a bunch of these stories, I unfortunately have to believe it.
They said -I used to work at a fast food place that after awhile ended up with a mouse problem.
The owners hired someone to come in and take care of them, but he did a poor job.
The mice would sometimes get into the traps, but apparently he had also sprayed poison
some places.
If the poison actually killed any of these critters, we never saw those.
We did however see the ones that were unlucky enough to survive this ordeal.
And smell them.
It would be in the middle of the day and mice would come walking out from under counters
or work stations very slowly and they stunk like death.
I called them zombie mice because they smelled like they should be dead, were gross looking
and just moved very lethargically...they also didn't really seem to be afraid of people
anymore.
I had swept up a couple and tossed them out the back into the grass, I figured they'd
probably wander off and die.
Others I think got tossed in the dumpster.
The worst was when I was at the dish station filling orders and my cook was standing in
front of her fryers and a mouse fell from the freaking ceiling almost hitting her on
the head.
We both freaked out and the thing just kind of stood there-
Next up at number 6 we have Drink For Two.
So for those of our viewers from around the world, Sonic is a drive through place in North
America.
Reddit user Randolm had an experience that may put you off it even before you ever go.
They said -This actually isn't too gross... but horrifying if you don't like spiders.
A few years ago I got a RT44 at Sonic.
After finishing the drink I pulled off the lid to chew on the ice.
That's when I discovered a pretty good sized wolf spider that had 'drowned' and was now
sitting on top of the ice.
I'm guessing it was 'hiding' in the empty cup and accidentally went on a crazy and fateful
ride.
I wasn't too happy with the situation either-
Next up at number 5 we have The Panookie[d].
Im always down to try new flavours of things when they come out - there are some pretty
interesting combinations out there.
This one is too far for me though.
Reddit user Mickymon said -Once I went to Boston Pizza with my girlfriend and ordered
their "Panookie" which is a pan sized brownie cookie.
My first bite had a mixture of cookie, brownie... and onion.
When I told the waitress she said "If it makes you feel any better it was probably an onion
from out of the dishwasher" to which I replied "Yes, it makes me feel better that the onion
was first on someone else's plate before mine" Our meal was free that day-
At number 4 we have Bacon Turkey Bravo.
Although it can be gross when you see a hair or something in your food, at least you can
see it - you know its there - but what about gross things you cant see?
Buzzfeed user Megan K 38 said -I used to work at a fast food place during college, and one
day the plumbing in the men's room backed up so badly that it overflowed through the
drains and into the back of the restaurant, where all the food prep happens.
Management decided that that wasn't a good enough reason to stop serving people, though.
So, yeah, I was standing in poo while I made your Bacon Turkey Bravo that day.
Bon appétit-
Moving on to number 3 now we have The Lip.
Heres a story from behind the counter.
It comes from Reddit user Dreamline who said -I worked at Subway for about two years when
I was in high school.
There was a lady I worked with who I will never forget.
Picture this: A 72 year old woman who constantly coughs up chunks of m&m cookies onto every
surface available - including subs.
Her and I were chatting in the back of the store once, and while she was talking to me
a chunk of cookie flew out of her mouth and landed on my lip.
I almost gagged.
She also would wear the same pair of gloves for cleaning, prep and for serving customers.
It was disgusting.
For some reason my boss never said anything to her about it.
I guess he felt bad that she was so old and still working- … that one was shocking,
gross and a bit sad.
What a strange mix of emotions there.
Moving on to number 2 we have The Michelin Man.
When it comes to scary fast food stories, they don't get much scarier than a life threatening
one.
This one came from Reddit user Stella bella butterfly.
They said -A few months ago I ordered at a local chinese food place... they claim to
make everything fresh on the spot, so I ordered pad thai with chicken instead of prawns because
I am deathly allergic.
I specify to the lady at the counter that NO PRAWNS ANYWHERE NEAR MY FOOD OR IT MAY
KILL ME.
Get my food home and it smells so good, I am excited to get stuck into it..
I was sitting in my dark lounge room with a movie and my food on my lap, and two bites
in I can feel it happening..
My airway is closing and my face is swelling, and I start to panic - thankfully as I am
scuffling about at the first aid kit looking for an epi-pen with the australian equivalent
of 911 dialled into my phone, my sister happened to come home and saved my ass. $900 ambulance
bill and a night in hospital later, Im alive although still resemble the michelin man.
My parents and sister were furious, amd were all ready to take them to court, but honestly,
it could have been as simple as accidental cross contamination on a cutting board, so,
I dont want to take down a small local business.
I did however go back, still puffy and swollen in the face to blast shit out of them and
warn them to be more careful and they offered me free food for a year, but I havent actually
gone back.
Im a little bit terrified to eat chinese food- … as shocking as that story is - I bet a
few of you guys have some similar stories to that …
And finally at number 1 we have The Slime[e].
This one comes from Reddit user Up 2 No Good.
It honestly sounds like a Frankenstein story where things come to life that should never
have been alive.
They said -I worked at a McDonald's for a little over a year.
That thought ran through my head often once I had been there a few months and there were
people newer than me.
I paid my dues though.
One of my cleaning tasks (mind you this is between handing out people's food) was to
get down on the floor with a long handled scrub brush and clean underneath the automatic
drink machine.
I..I saw things, man.
There were several times I had to peel three inch long jelly like things so covered in
mold in slime.
I swear they were alive.
Some kind of worm or something.
They..wiggled.
I'd scrub the black, moldy, inch thick soda blanket with a heavy combo of lye and degreaser.
Then I'd jump up and hand someone their food.
We complained to management that they couldn't make us handle bio-hazzards and food at the
same time.
They responded by giving us more shit to clean.
Also I just remembered when the tubing in the creamer machine busted and whoever broke
it just cleaned the visible part, leaving the mess to sit underneath all the stuff on
the counter over night.
When we traced the smell back...Well, let's just say you're a different person after you
spend two hours soaking up curdled creamer-
Well guys, I was feeling hungry before I did this video but my appetite has now mysteriously
vanished.
How are you guys feeling?
Do you have any scary fast food stories of your own?
Let me know - thanks for watching as always, my name is Danny Burke, and Ill see you all
in the next video!
